ABB, you rock. People do suck, though. Not all, but many. Being in an interracial marriage myself, I've gotten a small glimpse into a world that a blonde from California would otherwise not see so up-close. My husband was told once, on Haight Street in San Francisco, no less, that he wasn't Indian, because his parents weren't born in India. Well, what is he then? American, yes, but people don't LIKE that answer. Within 10 minutes, when someone asked him for something and he didn't give it to them, he was told, "Go back to India." I thought, "Hello People, WHICH IS IT?" They need to get their stupid story straight.

That's a long story to say, you don't know my ass, but I've got your back, too.ABB, you rock. People do suck, though. Not all, but many.

I've been sitting here trying to figure out what to say about this because it makes me so damned mad/sad. What an ugly thing but I'm proud of you for not deleting it. From the first time I came here I've had so much respect for your strength and your politics and your sass. I think you're a pretty incredible woman. I hate that racism is still out there. What can we do, how can we change that? I'm asking that in all seriousness. How the hell do we get rid of this shit?
